"While it is true that Mother Earth is going through huge
changes, thanks to
Global Warming and other man-made issues and while there have
been several
predictions about increased natural disasters such as
earthquakes, Tsunamis,
etc., we cannot get agitated by all these news and just
surrender to fate.

Mankind has accumulated lots of negative Karma by all the past
actions, but
suffering is optional. We have the 'Power of Prayer' and 'Prayer
changes
things'. Above all, our Merciful Lord Shiva has come to this
world as Shirdi
Sai Baba, currently as Sathya Sai Baba and in future will take
the Avatar as
Bhagawan Sri Prema Sai Baba to fulfil His Promise to Sage
Bharadwaja Rishi in
the Thretha Yuga. We are so fortunate to be in this world during
the Golden Age
when the Lord of the Universe has incarnated in Human form. So,
rather than
getting worried, confused and agitated, let's use every moment
of this life in
Prayers to our Lord Sai Shiva to Bless us with Liberation and
Save the world.

Please note that Swami has promised to save 'His Devotees'. We
must all think
whether we qualify in that category of 'Devotees' or not. Let's
ask the
following questions to ourselves to find out if we are devotees
of Sai:

1) Do we follow Swami's Guidelines on the 9-point Devotion to be
followed by
Devotees?
2) At the very least, do we follow the first Guideline of Daily
Prayers &
Meditation?
3) In the recent past, Swami has emphasized so much on
Namasmarana (Repeating
the Name of God) and very specifically emphasized us to chant
the Gayatri
Mantra. Are we following that?
4) Swami has also instructed all His Students to learn and chant
Rudram. (When
He says students, He doesn't restrict the instructions to people
studying in
the Sathya Sai University & Institutions, but the entire
Universe is His
University; We are all His Students, seeking Spiritual Knowledge
and Swami is
our Guru and God). If we believe that He is our JagathGuru,
SathGuru and God,
we must blindly follow His Teachings and learn & chant Rudram
that will help
removing negativity in this world and create positivity.
5) Above all, Swami wants us to spread Love and Light. He wants
us to destroy
our EGOs and be hollow instruments to serve Him. Just think, how
many times we
get angry, agitated, frustrated with our fellow brothers and
sisters? How many
times, because of our EGOs, we hurt others? How many times, even
within Sai
Centers and other entities, we have conflicts and disagreements?

Just by merely going to Temples, Sai Centers and attending
bhajans, if we think
that we are devotees of Sai Baba, then we are wasting this
Divine Opportunity
when the Lord Himself has come to this Earth to save us and the
world.

Let's not dream about the Golden Age to come only after Prema
Sai Baba's birth
in this world. Every one of us can experience the Golden Age
right now in our
lives, if we make full use of this Golden Opportunity to follow
Swami's
Teachings and spread Positive vibrations in the world.

It is so important to create positive vibrations through our
prayers regardless
of our caste, color or creed and whether we are a Hindu,
Christian, Muslim,
Jew, Buddhist, Jain, Sikh...the path preached by various
religious doctrines
could be different, but the destination is the same, and that is
to reach GOD.
So let's forget all differences and duality, and start believing
in Unity and
Brotherhood of mankind, our divine duty being to spread love and
positivity."
